Omni Helps Shopaholics Live the Dream With 'Recessionista' Package

Girls like shopping! Girls like martinis! Girls like getting together with their girlfriends to gossip and eat yogurt and paint their toenails and discuss celebrities! Well, according to hotel package promoters, anyway — and it's no secret that the floods of Girlfriend Getaway packages hitting the hotel market make us roll our eyes more often than not.

But this one's not so bad — especially since we don't really have any money to buy clothes right now (hello recession!), and we actually do need to go shopping. Omni Hotels is now offering "Retail Therapy," a package with us in mind — a girlfriend getaway for you and your chickies that offers decent freebies and some quality girl time.

From bargains to boutiques, women are sure to spoil themselves with a prescription for rest and relaxation. In advance of the visit, the "Retail Therapist" (aka the concierge) will contact the guests to help customize their experience from arranging spa treatments for the group to reservations at local hot spots. Upon check in, guests will also receive a recommended shopping list of local boutiques, the top shopping destinations and other favorite finds to help guests shop like a native.

Yeah, not very exciting — this part is better: when you get to whatever Omni you're staying in, you get an "Amazonia" Envirosax, "a reusable shopping bag which is sure to add color and eco-chic to the trip." Each guest also nabs a full-size Laura Mercier lipstick, and a "special delivery of Champagne" comes to the guestroom too.

Available until December 31st, 2010, the "Retail Therapy" package starts at $175 per night and can be booked here.
